I attempted to run ovstatus, but the error stated that ovstatus is unable to communicate with ovspmd. In my HP book it states that I should verify that $OV_Sockets directory exits, but if it doesn't it wants me to create the directory. But where should I put this directory under? Attempted to do a find but received no results, although it's still running (find . -name OV_SOCKETS -print &). Does anyone know where it's located and/or where is should be stored.

Hi there!
Check /var/opt/OV/share/databases/openview/ovwd/ovserver and make sure the hostname for your server is correct.
Also, from HP support:
ovspmd launches and manages all backgroud services, When you invoke commands like ovstatus, ovstop, ovstart, ovpause, ovresume these commands interact with ovspmd which then performs the appropriate actions on the background services.
Normally if none of this commands work it usually down to ovspmd not running.
1)ovstop -c (to stop everything)
2)ovstart -c ovspmd (check if that starts if it doesnt)
3)try starting the processes individually e.g
ovstart -c netmon
ovstart -c snmpCollect and so on
Also things worth checking:
Sometimes processes will not start because they cannot connect to ovspmd. It might be worth checking that the socket directory still exists $OV_SOCKETS(/var/opt/OV/sockets).
If it doesnt exist recreate one mkdir /var/opt/OV/sockets
Also check that your managent station ip address and hostname are resolving to the correct ip address and hostname.
Cheers!
